Who could forget this iconic scene in Pretty Woman when a young Julia Roberts lit up the silver screen in THAT red dress, marking the end of Vivian Ward’s life as she knew it?

Who… Blair Waldorf; the Queen B of Upper East Side grooming.
How… With the zesty Daisy Print Dress by See by Chloé
The epitome of that unassuming and enviable effortless New York style, Patti Smith continues to inspire well beyond her days as a poet, singer, and lover. With her shaggy mullet and androgynous dress, Smith emitted a sense of self -assurance, at one with herself and free to be whoever she wanted to be.
On those mornings when the outside world is too dark and the cool breeze of winter circulates from the bedroom window, the only thing for it is a ruffle of the hair, and in true Smith style, an unwavering attitude.
Pull on your Pistol’s and imagine strolling through the corridors of The Chelsea Hotel – when you’re Patti Smith you know your day could only be enviable one.

Another Thursday, another theme to channel. This week it’s all about Sherlock Holmes and his wonderful deerskin cape. A cape keeps one warm, cuts a dashing silhouette and conceals the wearer under a veil of elusiveness (a much needed trait for any budding detective). Holmes obviously understood the merits of a cape.
In lieu of a deerskin option we’ve turned to a close relative to appease our lost childhood dreams of solving crime with a trusty sidekick: wool. The cape in question is Gloverall’s Brown Duffle Cape Coat. A hood in case it rains, large patch pockets for a notepad and pen, draped sleeves and a feminine shape prove Gloverall have thought just about everything. Everything except a magnifying glass and a pocket watch. But as we’re only channelling and not imitating, these omissions can be forgiven.
